The primary revenue drivers for your video will be licensing, syndication, and YouTube monetization.

We can’t say for certain how much you can expect to make. It's impossible to predict how much a video will earn as there are a number of factors involved and every video is unique. YouTube monetization varies greatly from video to video, and each view is monetized at a different rate depending on a number of factors including location, device, and video length. With respect to licensing, your video will command a different rate based on what territory it’s broadcast in, the duration of the license agreement, and the type of media it’s used on, among other criteria.

Rest assured Jukin Media is proactively seeking the best opportunities for your video. We work on commission, so we only get paid when we make you money. In total, we've paid more than $15 million in royalties to amateur video creators, and that total increases on a daily basis. No other licensing company has paid more.
